Not on topic, but related: There's a way in which certain uncontrolled practices of film bear witness to "authenticity," as when reportage, think especially wartime footage, reflects the direct effect of the depicted events on the materiality of the film: the shake, unexpected light flare, etc. Similarly with documentary of drastic events: atomic bomb tests which go from black to pure white and then settle down showing the aftermath of the explosion.
